I went to this game hoping that I would see a few players who would play well enough to push for inclusion in the firsts. Unfortunately, it turned out to be more of the same old same old. We seem to have recruited many players over the years who are unable to rise above mediocrity.
The player who really impressed me was on the opposition side - Jason Holmes on their rookie list. He was recruited in October 2013 from the United States and is an ex-basketball player. According to the Record he is 203cm and weighs 99 kilos. In the game today he showed mobility, speed and athleticism that Casboult, Wood and Warnock can only dream about. In addition, he kicked and marked well.
Perhaps in future our recruiters could look across the Pacific as well as looking to Ireland.
Appreciate the contribution Macca - seems a reasonable comment to me.
